The deactivation of a ZnO doped ZrO₂-SiO₂ catalyst in the conversion of ethanol/acetaldehyde to 1,3-butadiene.

ABSTRACT: A deactivation study on the ethanol/acetaldehyde conversion to 1,3-butadiene over a ZnO promoted ZrO₂-SiO₂ catalyst prepared by a sol-gel method was performed. The samples were characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), NH₃ temperature programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), X-ray powder diffraction characterization (XRD), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), Fourier transform infrared resonance (FT-IR), ¹³C magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The pore structure characteristics and surface acidity of Zn_0.5-Zr-Si catalysts were largely decreased with time-on-stream and no crystal structure was formed in
